This is an optional side-activity to help students stay in contact and follow their progress.
- Scrum is one of the largest fundamental practices that occur in an agile scrum process. This is like a scrum meeting also called stand-up meeting
- In real life, it could be a short 15-minute round-table discussion which ensures the entire development team is up to date
- At etki_JS Remote Code Camp, we will do a text-based weekly scrum in which students can answer some questions on Slack (like what you’ve done, what are you doing next and if you need help with something)
For 3 reasons:
- To help students stay on track and be in sync with other students learning the same things
- To assist if they get stuck
- To gain experience with one of the most used team collaboration techniques in the real world! (yes, this can actually help when interviewing for jobs!)
Every Monday we’ll post a message on channels #Level1 and #Level2 asking students to answer 3 questions:
- What did you get done last week? (any accomplishments?)
- Any blockers where you need help?
- What are you getting done this week?
Students can choose to answer something like this:
Level1:
- Continued with the Responsive Web Design Certification
- Flexbox was a bit complicated to me, is there any other good source that explains this better?
- I want to finish this one and get started with the JS Algorithms and Data Structure
Level2:
- Finished Part2
- Yes! I struggled with array methods on exercise 2.1
- Finish Part2 and start working on Part3
This activity could be extended to an optional video Weekly Scrum in which a host and students could meet through Zoom for about 30 min and respond to these 3 questions. To be determined depending on students' interaction and through Poll results if there's a need for it.
